Blush pink has always been one of my favourite colours but not since
the eighties has it been seen so much in decorating. Finally it's shaken
off it's sugary image and stands right up there as one of the key
fashion colours for the home this season. Whether it's with paint,
fabric or accessories, there are plenty of ways you can add a splash of
pink to your spring palette. Pick up the tones by pairing pink painted walls with copper or rose
metallic accents. Avoid a fussy look by keeping the styling effortlessly
simple and clean-lined.

I'm loving this mini trend that I am seeing for summer
of moody indigo blue in tie dye and bohemian prints.
Not only is it popping up on my radar in swimwear, sarongs, summer dresses and separates
but I'm seeing it in cushion covers and bedlinen.
It's a great look for a beach house and it looks super sharp
when teamed back with crisp whites, warm timber, textured lighting
and a few boho or Moroccan accessories.

This lovely summer home is located in Las Salinas, a natural park on
the island of Ibiza. Designed primarily as a family holiday home,
emphasis has been put on the outdoor areas to make the most of the
summer months. The house, inspired by the traditional Balearic
architecture, is decorated in a natural, rustic style with mainly natural
materials and colors. The floor layout is simple and practical. By
using the same materials and finishes throughout the house all spaces
are integrated. When I see homes like this it reminds me of the beauty of simplicity. It looks like a great place to relax and unwind!

Jillian Attaway and Allison Norton have been best friends for 20 years,
so when given the opportunity to live together after graduation, they jumped at the chance. To say they nailed the
laid-back California vibe is an understatement. Their sunny two-bedroom,
two-bathroom home exudes charm and a sense of quirkiness. They managed to combine Jillian's
preppy and sophisticated East Coast style with Allison's beach-inspired,
modern sensibility to create a warm and welcoming space. I love the pretty pastel accents, the fifties-style bar cart and the bright yellow surfboard casually propped up against the wall in the living room.
